Figure 5Selected class D genes predict disease outcome in breast cancer. Two class D genes (SKIN and Ch-TOG) were used together as a predictor (see Supplemental Methods) of prognostic outcome on 2 independent data sets, one generated in-house (
A), another from van’t Veer (
42) (
B), and finally on 15 randomly selected breast tumor patients analyzed by Q–RT-PCR (
C) (see Table
1 for details). Data are shown as the probability of remaining free of metastatic relapse, in a Kaplan-Meier plot, as a function of a favorable (dashed line) or unfavorable (continuous line) signature. See also Supplemental Table 13 for details. (
C) Probability of remaining metastasis free is shown in a Kaplan-Meier plot, as a function of the presence of the favorable (dashed line) or unfavorable (continuous line) signature. In
A–
C, the
P values indicated were calculated with the log-rank test.
